Description

Adapt and optimize audio files outside the websites. This method saves a lot of bandwidth and relieves CPU and RAM as web servers are not optimized for (re)encoding audio files.

Examples

If an audio file added directly to the CMS weighs 7 MB, it is possible to save:

• 7 MB of bandwidth at the upload;
• 100 KB when listening to the result file;
• 6.9 MB of server hard disk storage.
